This book is the first to present research-based data, rather than opinion, on the subject of executive mobility. J. Benjamin Forbes and James Piercy have brought together ten years of research on various topics, including backgrounds of chief executive officers, early intra-organizational mobility, and backgrounds and placements of female executives, then integrated the results to form an accurate picture of management mobility in today's corporate world. In gathering data on the entire careers of CEOs, Forbes and Piercy looked at a variety of industries, including manufacturing, utility, transportation, banking, insurance, and retailing, as well as the socio-economic backgrounds of these industries' executives. Throughout the work, the authors deal with specific issues, such as early promotions versus the late bloomer, changing firms or industries to move up more quickly, and the greatest opportunities for women executives. Following an introductory chapter that provides an overview of the current environment and conventional wisdom, Forbes and Piercy offer detailed discussions of starting a career and the importance of early movement; the early competition; and mid-career issues including alternate routes to the top. Subsequent chapters deal with profiles of and projections for female executives; origins and formative years of the chief executive, including education, social status and personal characteristics; and industry differences and changes over time. The work concludes with a discussion of the careers of CEOs in different industries, and a practical look at reforming development and selection and strategically planning an individual career. This work will be a valuable tool for human resource professionals as well as for professionals and students in the management field. Public, academic, and business libraries will also find it to be an important addition to their collections.

First Published in 1999. This book addresses one such needed change in the corporate arena—the continuing inequality of opportunities for success that blacks experience relative to their similarly qualified white peers in the U.S. Through interviews and research, the author tries to find the answers that still need explanation due to the the stereotypes of blacks and other minorities that were kept alive through various media.

(English below) Fünf Karrieremuster für Frauen im Senior Management: Bounded – Unbounded global – Stop and Go – Flexible hoppers – Lean on and move up Fünf Karrieretypen sind Ergebnis einer wissenschaftlichen internationalen Untersuchung mit Frauen im Topmanagement. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass die Mehrheit der Topmanagerinnen aus verschiedenen Nationen ihre Karrieren durch lokale Unternehmenswechsel oder den globalen Wechsel von Arbeitgebern aufbaut. Es gibt für Managerinnen weltweit nicht nur ein Karrieremuster oder den einen richtigen Karrierepfad. Von den fünf Karrieretypen, die hier beschrieben werden, dominieren drei. Karrieremuster, bei denen familiäre Entscheidungen im Mittelpunkt stehen, sind in dieser internationalen Studie nur bei 17 % der Frauen der Stop-and-Go Gruppe vorherrschend. Die Mehrheit der Frauen verfolgen ungebundene und globale Karrieren, die sich durch viele Unternehmenswechsel beschreiben lassen. Die weiblichen Rollenvorbilder für den Aufstieg im Management besitzen eine starke Karriereorientierung, verfolgen eigenverantwortliche Karrieren und ordnen andere Lebensrollen ihrer primären Rolle als Managerin unter. Gerade weil Frauen weltweit im gehobenen Management weiterhin in der Minderheit sind, können die Karrierewege und Karrieremuster von erfolgreichen Frauen, die bereits die Spitzen von Unternehmen erreicht haben, andere Frauen inspirieren und sie darin unterstützen, ihre Karrieren strategischer zu planen. Karrieretypologien, die die Karrierewege und -muster von erfolgreichen Frauen im Management systematisieren, können Frauen als Orientierungsmodelle dienen, um eigene Karriere Entscheidungen und Planungen auf der Basis der Erkenntnisse von Rollenmodellen vorzunehmen oder diese als Reflexionsrahmen, zum Beispiel im Rahmen eines Exekutive Coachings zu nutzen. Five patterns of women in senior management: Bounded – Unbounded global – Stop and Go – Flexible hoppers – Lean on and move up Women worldwide are still often the minority in top management so the career paths and patterns of successful role models can offer guidance and real inspiration for other women. Career typologies of women in senior management functions can support other women when they set their career plans and need to make decisions. One outcome of the international research driven from the Global Women Career Lab is an intercultural career typology of top women managers in various countries, which offers valuable insights into women strategies for building careers. The typology analysis role model focuses on how women who achieved top management positions around the world built their careers and the characteristics go with it. The analysis describes the five career types which were most frequent in the research group. Different to the handful of existing typologies for women in management, more than 80 % of the women researched here show patterns and paths where career decisions are not made with a focus on family or other external conditions. Most women have pursued an unbounded career, often globally and changing employers in order to rise up the corporate hierarchy. Experienced coaches can use the Global Women Career Lab typology to stimulate reflection on career decisions and shed light on the choices of women in management levels. The typology also shows HR experts that talented women chose companies according to the opportunities they offered for women to rise in senior management.

This collection examines the various challenges women face in advancing their careers. In the mid 1980s, the phrase "glass ceiling" was coined and has since become an established part of our vocabulary. The glass ceiling refers to an invisible but impermeable barrier that limits the career advancement of women.

In this era of rapidly changing organizational environments, the task of executive selection is critical. Practitioners clearly need help with such essential questions as: What does it mean to be successful in today's organizations? How can we select executives who are more likely to perform successfully in them? This book seeks to address those questions by providing an introduction to what recent literature says about selection at the top of organizations (chief executive officer and two levels down) and how it relates to the selected executive's success and to the organizational goals. The book contains an annotated bibliography of over 100 sources of the literature on executive selection. The annotations are organized to provide information about selection at the top; the effect of organizational context on selection; the characteristics of jobs at the top; the characteristics of executives; methods for selecting higher level personnel and predicting their success; executive performance after selection; and organizational outcomes. The bibliography includes scientific journal articles, technical reports, articles from the popular press, books, book chapters, and viewpoints of practitioners and experts in the field. An author index is included. (LMI)
